Wouldn't it be about break even for each property owner, who would also be collecting rent?

Most cars have a braking distance of a bit over 100 feet or so at 50 MPH. If the car in front of you comes to a sudden stop by crashing into a stopped truck, a faster reaction time won't help.

So, threatening extermination=bad, carrying out extermination=less bad. Got it.

This doesn't change the fact that the customer paid for 75Mbps and got... a lot less.

ESPN is not free to the consumer. My cable bill includes a 4 dollar and change "sports channel" surcharge. I watch about 2 or 3 hours of sports channels per year, maybe. Add this to the fact that Cable TV is already way overpriced for the value provided. Getting the few shows I care about through other means grows more and more appealing all the time.

Yes. I honestly think that.

Homer: Here are your messages: "You have 30 minutes to move your car," "You have 10 minutes," "Your car has been impounded," "Your car has been crushed into a cube," "You have 30 minutes to move your cube."
[phone rings]
Homer: [answering] Hello, Mr. Burns' office.
Mr. Burns: Is it about my cube?

This reasoning could also be applied to motor vehicles on the ground. It rarely is.

freedom of religion IS the seperation clause.

True for now, but there's always the hope that one day the US will become a democracy.

Doesn't that describe the entire internet (also, the public highways, mass transit systems, etc., etc.) So you really meant yes?

Is this related to the dumbasses who wave at you to go when you don't have the right of way? I see this all the time around here at 4 way stop signs. Sometimes they wave me on to go ahead of them when they have the right of way, sometimes they do it when I clearly have the right of way. I don't need your stupid waving. I learned how stop signs work as a requirement for getting a drivers license.

The worst are the people who will stop before an intersection to allow you to make a left hand turn. On a road with two lanes in each direction and themselves in the left hand lane, so that your view of the oncoming traffic in the right hand lane is blocked. I can only assume they are waving me on because they want me to crash into the car in the right hand lane, who did something to piss them off previously.

I've only driven in a handful of East Coast US Cities, but... parking lots? There are cities that have those?

If the pedestrian has to walk out into the crosswalk to see the countdown, it's too late. He's already dead.

Garlic bread. The kind you buy in the supermarket. Either the frozen stuff of the kind in the ovenproof foil bag. It never quite cooks all the way in the oven, so I pop it under the broiler. Just for a second, to brown the top. A second or two to long and it ends up charcoal burnt. And this is what happens. Every. Damn. Time.
